Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) is a division of the Department of Defense and was implemented to assist in providing guidance for the technical aspects of managing IT related security. DISA developed guides for this called Security Technical Implementation Guides (STIGs), which assist in outlining the recommendations for handling and managing security software and systems. The DISA has three different categories that they use within the STIGs to describe the severity of the security vulnerabilities that are discussed (Ashley, 2021). Category 1 refers to any vulnerability that will immediately result in loss of confidentiality, availability, or integrity. This is considered the most severe vulnerability because it results in data loss and a loss of integrity for the system, resulting in further possible damage. Category 2 refers to vulnerabilities that could possibly result in the loss of confidentiality, availability or integrity.
Category 3 refers to any vulnerabilities that damages the security measures intended to protect against the loss of confidentiality, availability, or integrity. In regards to systems within a public organization, the Network Administrator should refer to the STIGs themselves for assisting with identifying the various categories at each point within the network.

DISA is part of the DoD which is a combat support agency that provides IT and communication support to all institutes and individuals working for the DoD (Foster, S. 2019). DISA stands for Defense Information Systems Agency and STIG stands for Security Technical Implementation Guide. There are three compliance levels that are called categories that are Category I, Category II, and Category III. Category I is when a vulnerability will directly and immediately result in loss of confidentiality, availability, or integrity. These are the most severe which can result in the loss of life, damage to facilities, or a mission failure. Category II can result in the loss of confidentiality, availability, or integrity. These vulnerabilities can lead to a Category I, result in personal injury, damage to equipment or facilities or degrade a mission. Category III is when any vulnerability degrades measures to protect against loss of confidentiality, availability, or integrity. These vulnerabilities can lead to a Category II, delay in recovering from an outage and affect the accuracy of data and information.

DISA is part of the Department of Defense (DoD). It’s a combat support agency that provides IT and communication support to all institutes and individuals working for the DoD. DISA oversees the IT and technological aspects of organizing, delivering, and managing defense-related information. There are different categories are category I, category II, and category III. Category I refers to any vulnerability that will directly and immediately result in loss of confidentiality, availability, or integrity. Category II refers to any vulnerability that can result in loss of confidentiality, availability, or integrity. Category III refers to any vulnerability that degrades measures to protect against loss of confidentiality, availability, or integrity. These could be applied in a public organization because these Categories do not just apply to the DoD they can be applied to any organization. One would not want to have their system become vulnerable or have confidential information exposed such as credit card information or addresses.
